Aria, Hanna, Spence and I were at the school cafeteria, waiting for Emily. "Spence, why didn't your folks take you to New York with your sister?" Hanna asked, "I mean, you deserve some retail therapy too."

"Not as much as Melissa," Spence said as Emily came over, wearing a red scarf. "Ooh, hot scarf, Em," I complimented. "Thanks," She said with a shy small smile. "Is it new?" Hanna asked. "No," Emily replied.

Suddenly Hanna's phone rang and she pulled it out from her bag. She looked at the caller with a frown and glanced at all of us. "Go ahead, answer it," Aria said, "We know who it can't be from."

My sister showed me her phone to see it was Dad. I frowned and exchanged a look with her. "Guys?" Emily asked, looking between me and Hanna in confusion. "It's our Dad," I replied before Hanna answered the phone, "Hey, Dad."

She grabbed my arm and led me outside with her. She put the phone on speaker when we saw that we were alone. "Hey, Han," Dad said, "Where's your sister?"

"Hey, Dad," I said with a smile as Hanna and I sat down on a table. "Guess what, girls," He said. "What?" I asked. "I'm coming back to Pennsylvania," He said. Hanna and I exchanged a confused look, "You are?" We both asked at the same time.

"There was no way I was coming back to Pennsylvania and not seeing you girls," Dad said, "But if you two got something you have to do -"

"No, Dad, we don't," I cut him off. "It's - It's cool."

"Then I'll come by, pick you two up at seven for a dinner. How's that sound?" Dad asked us. "Sounds great," Hanna said with a small smile, "We'll tell Mom."

"Um, Dad?" I started with a frown. "Yes?" He asked. I glanced at Hanna before back at the phone, "Did Mom . . ." I trailed off. "Did your Mom what, honey?" He asked. I glanced at Hanna to see she was staring at the phone, waiting for me to ask the question that also bothers her. I bit my lower lip before letting out a breath as I looked back at the phone, "You know, never mind," I said. "We'll see you tonight."

"Bye," Dad said. "Bye," Me and my sister said at the same time before she hung up. We both sighed before she turned to me, "Why didn't you asked?" She asked. I shrugged, "I guess I didn't want to know if he came only because one of us got into trouble."

Hanna sighed, nodding slightly, "Yeah, me too," She muttered before putting her phone back into her bag, "Come on, we should get going." We got up and headed back inside.

We walked around the hallways to meet the girls. "He has to be in New England for a couple of weeks, but he's making a special trip out to see us," Hanna explained to our friends about what we talked about with Dad.

"That's, that's great, guys," Aria said. "What?" Hanna asked as we both looked between them. "It's just do you think he's out here because of the thing with Sean's car?" Emily asked. "No, he's not," Hanna said, scoffing. We stopped walking and my sister and I turned to them. "Look, we asked," Hanna lied, "Absolutely not."

"And besides, even if he was, at least he's still coming out to see us," I pointed out. "Spencer!" We all looked over to see Mr. Sheldrake, the AP Russian History teacher, walking up to us. "Mr. Sheldrake," Spencer said.

"I was gonna tell you in class, but here you are. Remarkable job on the Russian history essay," He complimented. "Oh, thanks," Spencer said. "Very lucid presentation," He said.

"It's not really a new idea," She said. "I've submitted it for the Golden Orchid," He informed before trying to walk past her. "You what?" She asked, stopping him. "There's an honorarium," He replied, "But you know the real upside to winning an essay competition like that is how it looks on your applications."

"Wait, can we -"

"We'll discuss the details after class," He cut her off before walking away. "What's a golden orchid?" Hanna asked and Spencer turned back to us, "It's a national competition for historical writing."

"More academic bling for Spencer," I joked and the girls laughed. The school bell rang and we said goodbye to each other before going to classes.

... ...

Hanna and I were getting ready in her room. "Hey, Amy," My sister started. "Yeah?" I asked. "Have you peeked?" She asked as she looked in the mirror. I sighed, knowing she was talking about A. "We blocked whoever it was, and that's it," I said.

She nodded, "Yeah," She said before we continued to get ready. Mom walked in, wearing a hot red dress, "Wow, Mom," I said and Hanna turned to look at her too. "Is it too much?" Mom asked us. "No," Hanna and I said at the same time. "You look hot," I pointed out. "Did you buy that dress for Dad?" Hanna asked with a smirk.

"Don't you two start," Mom warned playfully, pointing a finger between me and my sister, which only made us giggle. "Okay, last minutes check," Mom muttered as she walked out. Hanna and I exchanged a smirk before following Mom downstairs. "Pretty woman walking down the street," I sing song and Hanna giggled while Mom send me a playfully look with a small smile.

The door bell rang and the three of us exchanged a look. I smiled before turning around to get the door. I opened it to see Dad standing there and I smiled again. "Amy," Dad said with a big smile as he stepped in. "Dad," I said as we hugged. Hanna walked closer as Dad and I pulled away. "Hey, Dad," Hanna said with a smile before they hugged as well. "How's my beautiful girls been?" He asked as they pulled away.

"We missed you," I said with a smile. "I've missed you both too," He replied. "We'll get our bags," Hanna said and walked towards the kitchen with me following, leaving Mom and Dad to talk for a moment. "Can you imagine Mom and Dad getting back together?" I whispered to my sister. Hanna smiled, "If only."

We grabbed our bags and walked back to our parents. "You girls ready to go?" Dad asked us. "Yeah," Hanna replied. "Mmm," I hummed, nodding. Dad looked over at Mom as she grabbed her bag, "Um, Ash . . ." She looked back at him, "Think maybe we got our wires crossed about tonight. My idea was that this would be a good time for me to catch up with Hanna and Amy."

Hanna and I exchanged a look as Mom forced a smile, "Oh. I guess I must have misunderstood." Dad shook his head, "My mistake," He said before turning to me and Hanna, "Does that work for you, girls? Just the three of us tonight?"

Hanna and I looked at Mom, who nodded for us to agree. "Um . . . Yeah," I said, "Sure." Dad and Mom glanced at each other, and Mom smiled again, "Okay." Dad nodded before started to walk towards the front door, and me and my sister gave a small smile to Mom before following Dad.

"Not too late, Tom," Mom told Dad. "Sure," He called. Hanna and I looked back at Mom, "Bye, Mom," Hanna said. "See you later," I said. "Bye, sweethearts, have a good time," Mom said before we walked out.

Hanna, Dad and I walked towards Dad's car. "That's a new car, so I hope you don't mind if I drive, do you, Hanna?" Dad asked. Hanna and I exchanged a knowing look and we stopped walking. I sighed, crossing my arms across my chest as Dad stopped and turned to us, "Girls?"

"This is about Sean's car. Mom did call you," Hanna said. "It's a little more complicated than that," Dad replied, looking down at his car keys before back at my sister. "Well, let me uncomplicated it for you," Hanna said, "If you came here to yell at me, let's just go back inside and get it over with."

"Hanna," I said but she continued as she looked at Dad, "Or, you know what? Why don't you yell at me right here, so all the neighbors can watch me take my medicine?"

"I didn't come back to yell at anybody," Dad disagreed calmly, "I came back to help you and your sister through a rough spot. You're a good girl, Hanna. You've always been a good girl, and a good sister. You can get a little . . . Overenthusiastic."

Hanna glanced at me and I smiled softly at her. "Now, I really wanted to spend time with my two girls," Dad started, "We can do whatever you two want. Okay?" Hanna and I exchanged an amused look before looking back at our Dad. "Fine," Hanna and I said at the same time. Dad smiled at us before we all continued to walk towards his new car.
